~ Nothing pains some people more than having to think. ~ ~ Each day is a special gift from God, and while life may not always be fair, you must never allow the pains, hurdles, and handicaps of the moment to poison your attitude and plans for yourself and your future. You can never win when you wear the ugly cloak of self-pity, and the sour sound of whining will certainly frighten away any opportunity for success. Never again. There is a better way. ~ ~ Mysterious love, uncertain treasure, hast thou more of pain or pleasure! Endless torments dwell about thee: Yet who would live, and live without thee! ~ ~ The purest treasure mortal times afford, is spotless reputation; that away, men are but gilded loam or painted clay. ~ ~ I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain. ~ ~ Self-denial is painful for a moment, but very agreeable in the end. ~ ~ Let us be thankful that our sorrow lives in us as an indestructible force, only changing in form, as forces do, and passing from pain to sympathy. To have suffered much is like knowing many languages. Thou hast learned to understand all. ~ ~ There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief. ~ ~ Let no failure, disappointments, death or despair bow down your head. When you experience any of these, take a rest, reflect and find a way around them. Draw strength from your pain and pursue your dreams until you reach glory and happiness. ~ ~ If we divine a discrepancy between a man's words and his character, the whole impression of him becomes broken and painful; he revolts the imagination by his lack of unity, and even the good in him is hardly accepted. ~ ~ Painful as it may be, a significant emotional event can be the catalyst for choosing a direction that serves us - and those around us - more effectively. Look for the learning. ~ ~ As anyone who has been close to someone that has committed suicide knows, there is no other pain like that felt after the incident. ~ ~ Suicide is the remedy of pain ~ ~ Corporal punishment is as humiliating for him who gives it as for him who receives it; it is ineffective besides. Neither shame nor physical pain have any other effect than a hardening one. ~ ~ A sculpture is just a painting cut out and stood up somewhere. ~ ~ Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture. ~ ~ Painting, sculpture and architecture are finished, but the art habit continues. ~ ~ Sculpture is the best comment that a painter can make on painting. ~ ~ There are three forms of visual art: Painting is art to look at, sculpture is art you can walk around, and architecture is art you can walk through. ~ ~ Writing is not like painting where you add. It is not what you put on the canvas that the reader sees. Writing is more like a sculpture where you remove, you eliminate in order to make the work visible. Even those pages you remove somehow remain. ~ ~ The real truthfulness of all works of imagination, sculpture, painting, and written fiction, is so purely in the imagination, that the artist never seeks to represent positive truth, but the idealized image of a truth. ~ ~ Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity. ~ ~ Painting and sculpture are very archaic forms. It's the only thing left in our industrial society where an individual alone can make something with not just his own hands, but brains, imagination, heart maybe. ~ ~ Art works because it appeals to certain faculties of the mind. Music depends on details of the auditory system, painting and sculpture on the visual system. Poetry and literature depend on language. ~ ~ Sculpture is more than painting. It is greater To raise the dead to life than to create Phantoms that seem to live. ~ ~ The idea of the painter and the sculptor is undoubtedly that perfect and excellent example of the mind, by imitation of which imagined form all things are represented which fall under human sight. ~ ~ The sculptor must paint with his chisel; half his touches are not to realize, but to put power into, the form. They are touches of light and shadow, and raise a ridge, or sink a hollow, not to represent an actual ridge or hollow, but to get a line of light, or a spot of darkness. ~ ~ I think my writing was innate. Being so painfully shy and introverted as a child, as well as an extreme thinker with a hyperactive imagination, it seems befitting. It became such a powerful passion early on in life. ~ ~ As a child, I was very shy. Painfully, excruciatingly shy. I hid a lot in my room. I was so terrified to read out loud in school that I had to have my mother ask my reading teacher not to call on me in class. ~ ~ We reserve the right to retaliate... against all countries that take part in this unjust war, namely Britain, Spain, Australia, Poland, Japan and Italy. ~ |
